[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECs don’t matter much for UVA. This year will be really tough for your son.[/quote] [b]Why is this year going to be tough?[/quote] This year’s GPA cutoffs seemed higher. Also, not many slots left for RD.[/quote][/b] Actually, it is due to going "test-optional" and Covid. UVA was flooded with a 38% increase of applications at the ED/DA level, which, when added to the RD applications showed 17% increase (almost 50,000) overall. This is due to Covid. Many families were hit hard financially and really need the state-schools to work for them. When schools went "Test-option" that further opened the floodgates to students who had high grades and poor scores, or no scores. Same happened at HYPS, etc. The middle and third tier SLACs are suffering because they aren't getting the full-pay applicants they usually do and many are tens of millions in debt.[/quote]
